Frequently Asked Questions
How does this differ from standard chai tea bags?
This loose leaf blend contains whole spices and full tea leaves rather than crushed fannings, delivering more nuanced flavor complexity and allowing visible identification of individual ingredients. The absence of bag material also eliminates any paper taste interference.
Can this be prepared without milk for a traditional kahwa style?
Yes, this blend is formulated for both preparations—steep in water alone for authentic Kashmiri kahwa, or add milk and sweetener for chai. The green tea base works effectively in either application.
What is the saffron content, and is it genuine?
The blend contains approximately 0.5-1% saffron threads by weight, visible as red-orange strands throughout the mixture. While this represents authentic Kashmiri saffron variety, the quantity is measured for flavor contribution rather than therapeutic dosage.
